Aluminum 2017 is a heat treatable wrought alloy that offers decent strength, ductility, and good machinability. Aluminum 2017 offers more strength than Aluminum 2011, and has fair workability and corrosion resistance.
As with many aluminum alloys, Aluminum 2017 should not be welded as it reduces the alloy’s corrosion resistance.
Because of its unique properties, Aluminum 2017 is popular for a number of different applications including:
Aerospace components
Rivets
General structural components
Transportation
Fasteners
Screw machine prodsucts
Gauges
Pulleys
Needles for knitting
